Mach 1 Club

So I been slowly working a 70 mach 1 Ive owned for the past 5 years. I finally decided to replace the dash pad as it had some pretty big cracks. The interior is all original & still in pretty nice condition and the dash was the deal breaker.

New dash pad came in & its out with the old and in w/the new.



With minimal work the dash came right out.














Factory markings/ stickers





The new & the old






Also pulled the center console to remove 41 years of dirt





Will do a light resto





spare screws left behind from the factory/ part numbers







Last pulled the sail panel trim pieces to recover them since they were sagging a bit.





still had the FOMOCO part numbers/decal












Will post more pictures tomorrow.

Nice to see made in Canada instead of todays normal of Made in China!
Please show us the after!!

Thanks for posting the detailed pictures of the process. Thats interesting that the screw was taped there; the tape looks like its been there a long time.

what i found interesting was the fact those parts that say made in canada were the oem parts that were on the car since new. I had no idea Ford was outsourcing parts to canada.

I know, been there so long its almost rusty. Lol now I need to find some time to see if I can find the build sheet.

Had some spare time to work on the center console.

Masked it off to add a few coats of trim black.





After some scuffing w/red scotchbrite





After a few coats of trim black





Final product. The wood trim needs a bit of attention but for now it will do.







More to come as I get time. Keep posted.

That console really looks great!

Thanks everyone..

Few updates today...


After I cleaned the console with soap & water. I scuffed the whole console and sprayed a few coats of trim black.












After a few coats & here is the final product.










Will post more pictures of the whole thing back together.

Looks good, you should go into business. Folks could ship you their consoles and you could fix them up!
